KOKEDAMA: a Unique Way to Grow a Plant

Wow! So many ways to make our house green and beauty. Plant is one of them. The conventional way to keep the plant may be such a boring thing. Japan has a creative one and I will tell you how to make 苔玉 by myself.

PS: 苔玉 Kokedama!

Supplies:

Step 1: You Need:

SoilManure

Water

Plants (I choose false daisies in this project: the cutting of false daisies)

Moss (Peel it from wall or stone or somewhere)

Scissors

Cloth

String

Bowl

PS: we recommand you to choose an easy-to-care plant like succulents or cacti.

Step 2: Mix the Soil and the Manure

(Remember that the soil is more than the manure)

Step 3: Make It Like a Ball

You can add some water to help you.

Step 4: Stick It!

In case we use the cutting of false daisies, so we just stick it to the ball. But, if you choose a rooting plant, you have to make a ball around the roots.

Step 5: Put the Moss

Put the moss on the ball. Its not that easy. But, this step is the happiest step. Use water to help it on.

Step 6: The String!

The string: you can make it like a net, or use the cloth to help you hold your kokedama

Step 7: Hang It and Done!

Hang it and done! or you can place it in the bowl or on the plate or on the ground or you can bring it when you walking around the city. #joke PS: Dont forget to water your kokedama. Use the sprayer to keep your ball.

If you used hydrated water-absorbing granules (as are in diapers) in with your soil and manure mix, it would help keep the plant moist. Also, if the fabric and twine used aren't part synthetic (nylon or polyester), they will decompose over time

Yeah you have to try it. I think you have to try it with the another one, cacti or succulent. Or a wild grass (yeah haha). Idk what lilac is. But when I googled it, it seems that fragile. I want that flower, now. Haha. Thank you
